Subdivision and Development Appeal Board training guidebook

Description

The Subdivision and Development Appeal Board (SDAB) Training Guidebook is intended for municipalities, subdivision and development appeal boards, clerks and members to support the learning required for meeting the obligations of provincial legislation to conduct the subdivision/development appeal hearing process. The guidebook consists of six main components: guiding principles; Alberta planning framework; establishing an SDAB; appeals (basis of, procedure, further right, case law); mock-hearing with exercises; and, appendixes and forms. While recognizing the unique circumstances of each municipality, the guidebook is meant to serve as foundation for training and achievement of knowledge to ensure minimum standards of practice for planning decisions within a tribunal hearing setting.
